I looked out into the crowd to find my girlfriend. Minah sat next to my parents, her phone held high above her head. She was glowing, and it made me smile at how adorable she looked trying to take pictures of me. The principal called my classmates’ names until it was my turn.

“Jung Taekwoon, for outstanding work on the soccer team, you have been chosen by your coach and teammates as the soccer player to receive the award for best player of the year.” The crowd roared and I instinctively looked out towards Minah. She was lost in the vast sea of people. I accepted my award and got in line with my class, awaiting for the rest of the students to be called up.

When the whole ceremony was finished, all of the students and guests left the auditorium. Everyone gathered in the courtyard to hear the principal's final speech. It was short and I don’t remember much of it, but once it was over I immediately started searching for Minah. Last week she turned nineteen, and I didn’t want to wait any longer. She was the one.
